Abstract
A method for preparing a radioactive surface source for radiotherapy is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) providing a structure having a surface; (b) positioning the structure in a flux of at least one radionuclide so as to collect atoms of the at least one radionuclide on or beneath the surface; and (c) treating the surface such that the atoms are intercalated into the surface but allowed to recoil out of the surface upon radioactive decay. In various exemplary embodiments of the invention the method further comprises coating the surface by at least one layer of polymeric material, such that the atoms are collected into the polymeric material.
